what subjects do you learn in comparative relegions degree?

Answer 1

In most US colleges and religions, the study of comparative religion involves gaining familiarity with the history and the practices of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Shinto, Native American Religions, and, depending on the faculty in that department, perhaps some other religions as well.

Perhaps the most important aspect of studying comparative religion at the university level is the study of theory and methodology in the discipline. For example, while the majority of scholars in the field are historians of religion, others are psychologists of religion, anthropologists of religion, and sociologists of religion. Scholars of comparative religion also employ feminist, postmodern, and other methods of interpretation. Learning about these methods of study is perhaps the most important part of earning a degree in the discipline of comparative religion.
